Hannah was lying on her side, on the couch. She was really, really tired of being pregnant. Her and Derek were expecting their first child now, and the kid really made herself known. Yet again she was moving around, and kicking. Hannah grimaced as she waited for the baby to stop. Derek was still at work, though he was due home at any minute

Derek was starting to hate leaving for work. On the one hand, it was great to have finally completed Auror training- to be the real thing and doing Auror work, even if it was bottom of the rung assignments. On the other hand, the timing was shite because Hannah was getting closer and closer to the due date. They had a while to wait, in theory, but anything could happen. At any time. It wasn't like these things ran on precise clocks or anything, was it.

At any rate, he was home now. Derek came through the door with a smile, which grew when he spotted Hannah on the couch. "Hey." He walked over and bent to give her a kiss. "Feeling okay?"

"No, your daughter keeps moving around and kicking me." Hannah groaned as she moved again. She reached her hand up to grab onto his. "I tried to make food, but burned the casserole. We'll have to order something in. What are you in the mood for?" While she was talking, Hannah pulled Derek's hand so it was resting on her tummy and he could feel the baby moving about and kicking. She often told Derek that the kid always kicked more when he was around because she liked his voice.

Derek made an unimpressed face but it didn't last long. The kid should have better manners than to be beating Hannah up- but when she pulled his hand down and he could feel her himself, well, Derek couldn't scowl at that. He crouched on the floor and stroked Hannah's stomach, half for her sake and half to try to calm the little one moving about in there.

"That's okay, I'll get something," he agreed when Hannah mentioned the food situation. "No preference. Any particular cravings today?"

Derek's focus was on his girlfriend until Abby made a particular turn again under his hand. "Oi. You be nice in there," he instructed sternly.

"Um, I feel like eating a giant lasagna. Then some olives. Like two jars of olives, Derek." She put her hand over Derek's and smiled at him. "Are you being a strict dad now? Behave, Abby... or you'll be in trouble," She giggled and squeezed his hand, excited by the prospect of parenting.
